The approach used issimilar to the one employed in Linder et. al. study in terms of assignment sequencing andbreaking up a larger assignment into smaller assignments. However, the smaller assignmentsused in this study are different in nature and type, and how they are connected

Below, we provide a summary of the questions asked to the MLM groups, withthe initial conclusions drawn by the authors. It is important to stress once more that theseresults are only reflective of the groups who used the MLM in the fall semester due totime constraints.Question 1: “What was your opinion on the effectiveness of the FlipIt Physics product?”Sample Positives • “I think the success I had in this class can be attributed to how prepared I was for the lectures.” • “I really enjoyed Flipit physics it kept me organized and helped me understand.”Sample

For Durel (1993) “a capstone course should be a synthesis, reflection and integration,and a bridge or a real-world preparatory experience that focuses on the post-graduation future”[2]. Dutson et al. (1997) [3] reviewed more than 100 papers describing capstone experiences inengineering education, presenting differences and similarities among institution and amongdifferent engineering departments.

Future programming could help alleviate thisissue by adding in explicit cohort building activities such as social events at the beginning of the program.Improved tracking of attendanceWe largely view surveys as being reflective of the minimum number of attendees that are present. Duringthe 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 program years, attendance was tracked by the number of surveys completedthroughout the program.

In addition to interactingwith practicing professionals, authentic experiential learning activities can promote STEMcareers. Experiential learning attempts to rectify what Kolb characterized as the “rejection” ofthe “real-world” by the educational establishment [7]. The key to experiential learning is thecreation of knowledge “through the transformation of experience” [7].

Below we suggest a few possible explanations that could explain ourresults.In the faculty member’s reflection of the flipped classroom experience, it was noted that thispedagogical model more resembled that of a lab similar to one where a first year faculty memberhas just emerged from a multi-year research project. In many research labs it is common forsenior students to mentor and train the junior lab members. In that sense, working with smallergroups during instruction time did not seem foreign to the faculty member and put both thefaculty and students more at

audience time only masked the significance of the usability data with an activity thatdid not reflect usability, but merely represented passive reception. All tasks were re-analyzed and certainprocedures were modified to focus on activities that indicated differences in usability. The testing timeoverall has been reduced from the initial design of several hours per user (four platforms, nine tests) toabout 20 minutes per platform or about 45 minutes for a complete single user experience (two platforms,three tests). It would have been difficult and expensive to recruit a statistically significant number ofusers to complete a set of tasks lasting several hours per user.One of the difficulties of measuring cross-platform occurs when the app
